When thinking of jjajangmyeon(짜장면) & Jjamppong(짬뽕) there's only 1 place that's worth visiting, and that place is here. I had heard the owner had changed, and went with a couple of friends to see if the food was as good as I remembered (it had been a year or two since I had last eaten). We went when it wasn't too busy, and the owner greeted us in person and was super cordial! We got the the usuals (as seen above) and ordered the Kkanpunggi(깐풍기) and the Tangsuyuk(탕수육). Needless to say those were flavorful as well, and my party exited well fed and content. Next time I'll have to ask if they can open a location in Houston, so that I don't have to drive 5 hours for some good jjajangmyeon....

Dong Chun Hong is a clean and honest self-service restaurant where you don’t feel pressured to tip. I really don’t understand the low ratings—once you try it, you’ll see how good it is. My favorites are the Jajangmyeon & Jjamppong combo and the Beef Brisket Jjamppong. Great food, fair prices, and straightforward service. I’ll definitely keep coming back.

I was a little hesitant to try this place when I read a few negative reviews after a change in ownership. My wife and I decided to have lunch recently and we were very happy with the food and the service. For lunch, we ordered the Combo #4 (which is half jajiangmyeon and half tangsuyuk) and the samsun ganjajiang (similar to jajiangmyeon but freshly made to order with sautéed seafood and lots of onions). Everything was delicious. The jajiangmyeon was good with ample amount of gravy and noodles. The tangsuyuk was fried to a perfect crisp and was served with a dipping sauce on the side. The ganjajiang was the standout. The noodles were nicely chewy, sauce was less heavy, and had plenty of seafood pieces. The self-serve condiment bar has the yellow radish, sliced raw onions, water, and the utensils. For those of you who were hesitant due to a change in ownership should give them a try. We thought the food was delicious and the prices/portions were excellent.

My husband and I had been going this place over 17 years. Some time we try different places but no place food test better than 동천홍 . I’m so glad original owner gives same recipe for this new owner. Thank you for good service and good food!!!

This is another value based Korean restaurant with no tipping/self service. I had the jjamjjamyun combo which was decent for the price point. There are other combos to try if you’re in the mood to mix things up. Honesty, these combos are basically mini course meal for those looking for budget friendly chinese-korean experience. Definitely coming back to try more dishes.

Delicious, Self-Service, Better than Paik's Noodle My mom and I have been coming here occasionally for the past few months, and we were satisfied every time. The food taste and portion size is good. The jjampong has more seafood than Paik's Noodle around the corner. The tangsuyuk is crispy. They have a special going on, which makes it an even better value. It is located next to Wicked Snow. Self-service so tipping is optional.

We had a great experience here. The service was wonderful and attentive, our meals came out in a timely manner, and the food was delicious with very generous portions. You can truly tell there have been major improvements since the change of ownership. It’s a warm, welcoming spot and a great place for family dinners. Highly recommend!

Hands down the best Korean-Chinese restaurant in Dallas! We visit from Boston often, and this place is always a must — amazing food, warm service, and genuine kindness every time.
